THANK YOU U.S.A.

The USA had as many viewings as UK, yesterday and today! Thankyou U.S.A. !


(Actually this is my second effort as writing my Blog today.... I tried on my iPad, but I managed to delete it by mistake!!!!... so back to the laptop..)


Sooooo.... Today: two major things.


Firstly, I have consulted with an estate agent, re letting my home, as I feel that moving is the best move for me... watch this space.... !


BUT THE very, very, best event today was that Tom (Palmer), my author neighbour, rang to  ask if he could come in for a cuppa. He arrived and gave me a gift of some Fair-Trade chocs,,, YUM.... BUT he also gave me a copy of his latest book, out on May 3rd.."BLACK OP".....
and .....he has dedicated it to me!    The dedication says, "To Nikki Woodman, lovely neighbour, lovely friend, lovely woman."  
WOW how wonderful !    I was so moved. 
Tom had dedicated a book to me some years ago,(I think,as I had helped proof-read), so this was a tremendous surprise, completely out of the blue, and I did cry.. 
Thankyou Tom. You made my day, and  you certainly gave me a big hug!



HUG ME, I'VE GOT MND

ANOTHER BRILL DAY

Today has been soooo good. Cuppa with Esther, and another cuppa AND cake with Tom , Rebecca and Iris... in the garden. (and Rebeccas Mum and Dad.) How lovely it is that we are having such sunshiny weather! Long may it reign... ie not rain!!!
The rest of the day was spent painting and listening to the radio. The Archers started my day and Top Twenty ended the radio for today... actually didn't even recognise the Number One .. and it's been there for 3 weeks..!!!. never mind I can cope without this knowledge.
I look forward to a good painting week .Tony( art tutor) visiting tomorrow and Ann later in the week. 
Tom and I have a date on Friday to go to see The Woman in Black... he has read the book and is very excited about the film , I thought I was reading the same book, but it seems that  I may be reading the wrong Woman In Black... how funny is this... but the one I'm reading is such fun, a real good thriller!! So I shall enjoy the film anyway.. For me a cuppa and Lemon Drizzle cake, for Tom a cuppa and a Magnum Classic... how cute that we know exactly what we have with each film and yet don't know that we are seeing the right film! (Tom is probably right with his thoughts!!)
Part of my Sunday radio morning is always Desert Island Discs... I keep trying to refine my 8 bits of music... it's impossible... and though this wouldn't be one of mine I think it's worth including. Sooooo remember watching The Perry Como show with Mum and Dad, and the song says a lots about my state of mind... Hope you agree!

HUG ME,  I'VE GOT MND
